Database Manager on May 12, 2011:

The organ includes pipes from the church's 1909 Hinners Organ, as well as the rebuild of that organ in 1951 by Michigan Organ Company. This organ was part of an expansion project that more than doubled the size of the sanctuary. The 4' Spillpfeife rank and Chimes were added at later date by Wicks.
